Top 5 Things to Remember
1. Remember the train/airplane/transportation analogy? It’s wrong. Passengers without cargo = bankruptcy. To win in online journalism, we have to win online classifieds.
2. It’s All About Time: Breaking News, Archives drive loyalty - and profit. TiVo your site.
3. Use advertising that works (contests & e-mail) and not what doesn’t (pop-ups/unders).
4. Leverage search engines to increase traffic and create new advertising models.
5. Mind the Gap: Invest in functionality for Classifieds - or die.
